EV, revealed at the Brussels motor show, offers an electric range of up to 413 miles
Geely-owned Zeekr has launched the sleek 7GT in mainland Europe ahead of a planned entry into the UK market later this year.
First revealed last year in its home market of China – there it carries the 007 GT nameplate – but now launched in EU-spec at the Brussels motor show today, the electric estate is 4817mm long, 2070 tall, and 1456mm wide, making it a rival for the likes of the Volkswagen ID 7 and Hyundai Ioniq 6.
However, like compatriot brands, it has been priced to significantly undercut those rivals, starting at €45,990 (£40,000). It tops out at €57,490 (£50,000).
Where Zeekr also believes it can also win votes with continental buyers is with its design and dynamics. While it is built in Hangzhou, China, it has been designed in Europe and engineered for European roads, the brand says.
The 7GT, which sits on parent Geely’s PMA2+ platform, is available in three guises: Core rear-wheel-drive, Long Range rear-wheel-drive, and Privilege all-wheel-drive.
Electricity is drawn from either a 75kWh (for the entry spec) or a 100kWh battery pack. The 7GT offers a top end range of 413 miles.
The 7GT is based on an 800V architecture which allows charging speeds of up to 450kW. This means a 10-80% top-up can be achieved in just 13 minutes, via a relevant charger.
With its most potent AWD set-up, the 7GT gets 637bhp and can hit 62mph in just 3.3sec, with a top speed rated at 130mph.
Inside, the cabin is centred around a 16in infotainment screen. Ahead of the drive sits a 13in instrument cluster and a 35in head-up display. Luggage space is rated at 456 litres.
While timings have yet to be officially confirmed, the 7GT is expected to hit UK shores from late summer.
